    Raji: An Ancient Epic is a beautiful game, set in a world and culture that is wildly under-represented in the medium. From the first minute you can immerse yourself in Raji’s adventure, and for all the urgency of stopping the designs of the nefarious demons, it’s very hard not to just stop and admire the scenery along the way. Do yourself a favour, pick this one up, and broaden your horizons a little bit.

    On tips of your fingers there is Raji slicing her way through the demons hordes of the hindu myths under the striking imaginery of Indian paintings. Time in this game is well spent. [Issue#308]

    In all, Raji: An Ancient Epic was a great game. Yes, I had some problems with it’s length and the ending but if I step back and look at the game in its entirety, I can recognize that Raji was a gorgeous game. It was educational and made me want to learn more. My hope is that we’ll get a sequel to be able to explore ancient India once again and perhaps right the wrongs this game committed...only time will tell.

The story explain Hindu deities and such. The visual are really nice, especially the quality of the level designs. The music is enjoyable and some of the best in my opinion. The fighting is not that precise and rely a bit too much on pirouettes. There is a lack of balance between enemies. The levels are amazing but there isn't much to do in them, and I felt like it was a lost. I give it 75% for the amazing story, levels and music. For the rest I am just not sure.… Full Review »

The game itself is not particularly - special. But game mechanics fit together well. The combat feels fluid, both just by itself and also by including the environment.
    The story "feels" kind of original with beautiful cutscenes and very warm and artistic colouring. I have yet to play much further .. but from what i have seen, it is a beautifully made game.

    What i do not like very much .. is the controls .. that feel like they are (of course) made for controller .. with keyboard and mouse only being a negligent afterthought if any. My problem is that i do not play with controller - so my gameplay experience is limited in that respect (meaning, i fall back to the rather simple combat mechanics rather than making a spectacle of out of it - something this game allows with all the mechanics)

    Still, highly recommended if you want a well balanced story, protagonist and game mechanic.    … Full Review »
